He’s not overplaying, he makes all of his covers in his own style and they sound pretty awesome. If you just wanna listen to a cover that sounds like the original then he’s not for you, go listen to the original band then lol or someone who will cover it exactly the same which I know Estepario could probably do in his sleep lol.
Definitely not over played. Nothing he plays is over played. His flow and own style makes the songs he covers sound amazing while still within the original. He’s gotta be top 3 drummers in the world.
That was an amazing rendition of “Chop Suey.” Not overplaying at all, in my opinion. He definitely knows what he’s doing at all times, and the fills fit the song, as well as his advanced beats. He also has great feel, sound, and a superior pocket. Makes everything look effortless, which is the sign of a true master.
haters and drummers who have no technique are going to say he plays too much because he is so over their heads on every level: talent, technique, creativity, ideas, and a whole list of things that do make him one of the best drummers and musicians in history.
wake up people, right at the very beginning of his playing he says "this is not how to play this song". He is just showing his amazing talent, technique and ability to totally create a drum track featuring the drums. That is what he does, and that is why he is so respected by other drummers, and musicians.
In the everlong cover video he said that it's not how the song "should" be played. He's just having some fun with the songs. He's not trying to give a tutorial on how to play the song. Just demonstrating what he can do.
My personal opinion is that all of the people commenting that his drumming is too much are not drummers themselves. Any half decent drummer can recognize his technicality and what goes into playing like this. He is one of the cleanest drummers I have ever heard. I would put him up there with Matt Gartska(Animals As Leaders) and Nathan Camarena(Chon). The amount of time that this guy has put into nearly perfecting his craft is just insane. Maybe if the people that think he is too much would put half the time into practicing as they do commenting, they would be half way to this guys level.
Estepario was a couple of weeks ago suggested to me by UA-cam. I got immediately addicted, he's one in a million, every clip I watched was an absolute pleasure and his interpretations make the songs much better. Okay, I'm also a huge admirer of musicians who have mastered their craft beyond the limits of perfection and this guy is one of those kinds.
This guy puts his extra chops in with such a tasty effort. This is the shit you could only think of but never put it in play. Imho he's the best on the planet that I've ever heard
He adds so much texture and flavour to already super tasty drumwork. His latest videos on the single pedal double kick and triple kick are ridiculous. To still get tone out of such quick notes. The guy is in another sport let alone league. Love everything he does
Been drumming for 30yrs. This guy is absolutely the best drummer I’ve ever seen. He’s revolutionizing the instrument and taking it to a different level.
I think his disclaimer at the beginning negates any criticism of overplaying. That's basically what his channel is built on. In his million sub video he even said, being a musician was not his motivation to play drums. It was a challenge to see what he can do and to do the impossible. Don't go to a Lorna Shore concert expecting Phil Collins. And I think the fact that El Estepario has just the most immaculately clean pocket in the world while playing like this gives him a little bit of wiggle room on what is considered over playing as well. In this particular case, I don't think he over played. He stayed true to the structure of the song.
Whether he's overplaying is a matter of taste. Fact is that this guy is unique in his talent and style. And that's what i appreciate most in El Estepario. If you want to hear and see something you've never experienced before in drumming... Switch on his UA-cam channel. That alone deserves the deepest respect imo.
He’s not overwhelming the song or overpowering the other instruments. It’s his palette & knowledge on how to use such spices in a musical dish that’s so flavorful. Alongside his dexterity, speed & overall precise technique it becomes fine percussive cuisine. Masterful & unafraid to be unique in his own skins. Human & drum skins. Rok on brahman
Brother, as a drummer I feel that he doesn't over play he just has his own way of jammin and as a fellow drummer I can't do anything but respect the level this man has gotten to its amazing
talent + dedication + practice = what you are seeing. this man probably has tens and tens of thousands of hours of practice. no doubt he is talented, but without endless practice you wouldn't see this level of playing. otherwise anyone that plays drums could replace Lars Ulrich
My favorite Estipario video is the "This Intro Made History!", it's a short, and he plays it one handed...Kind of a funny story, the very first video I saw of El Estipario's was "Playing Heretic by Slipknot With One Hand", which, before watching the video, and knowing how fast Joey Jordison is being a Slipknot fan, I literally thought, "No way", thinking it would be impossible to play "Heretic" with only one hand...But it intrigued me, so I clicked on the short, and my jaw hit the freaking floor...He not only played "Heretic" with one hand, but he played the song better than Joey did...My mind was officially blown, and I have been in utter amazement watching all his videos since, but his video "This Intro Made History!", it's just so freaking insane, the counts, playing things with one hand, that would literally make my arm fall off playing that fast...Just one more thing, I am a big fan of Tool, and always thought that Danny Carey was the drumming king, after Neil Peart of Rush...Then El Estipario Siberiano took the reign in the matter of 60 seconds...
I love how you just went straight to the video and didn't interrupt the video as you give your opinion. Love it look forward to more of your content. 😊
He drums in a way he will be noticed. It’s so good! And even non drummers respect his efforts massively. Practice makes perfect! I watched his bio and he is a top top person!
Too Much greatness. One of a kind. Way beyond your average or even great drummer. Unbelievable talent. I challenge any of his critics to duplicate what he does...
Its not a question of overplay. Its his way, his work and the way he plays. He is gifted, but not in drums. He is gifted in discipline, hard work, patience and preserverance. Him self made a video describing that his playing is a fruit of all of his hard work and practice routine, implying that anyone that has that determination can get to his level. Honestly, i believe this but i also think that he his very, very special in the way he hits those drum sets and the way he orchestrates his playing.
I love El Estepario's covers! He's so CLEAN and such a freaking BEAST on the drums! He totally SMASHES the songs and yet he keeps the spirit of the original song so that it's just BETTER. What he does just gives it so much OOMPH! My favorite video is honestly the Bongo Song.
Wow! EL ESTEPARIO SUBERIANO excellent drummer! a unique and only one great drummer I've ever heard and seen in the 21TH century! BRAVO! Remind myseld a lesson to practice more and more. Thanks for your channel dude. Really helps alot of lessons and enhancement in drumming for every drummers in the world.
I feel everyone should enjoy what they do as much as he does. I thoroughly enjoy watching his videos and don’t have a single favorite, there’s too many to choose from.
My favourite video of his is numerous videos. The one handed Slipknot and SOAD especially. I only recently saw his videos but have watched heaps of them. That UA-cam algorithm certainly paid off.
Honestly, a lot of El Estapario Siberiano's drum covers are my favourite version of that particular song. Does he overplay? Of course. It's by design, and he admits this openly in several of his videos. And I love every single beat of it. Not just the actual parts he plays. Not just his power and technical skill, but his creativity, and especially the energy he brings to his performances. I think only Junna can rival him for sheer amount of fun visibly had while playing the drums. I'm not sure if you've checked her out yet [new to the channel; this is my second or third video I think] but her cover of Through the Fire and Flames is one of the most entertaining things I've ever seen in my life. Anyway, back to the topic at hand: I have like at least a dozen or more favourite El Estapario drum covers, but if I had pick just one [at least to start], the first that springs to mind is Always by Blink-182. This one is a perfect example of what I said about the visible enjoyment he gets from playing drums, as well as some of the creative changes he made to Travis' fantastic original track. It's right at the top of my "he made my favourite version" list. Here's a link: ua-cam.com/video/3w7lUVc3xpA/v-deo.html
Replying to my own comment because I thought of another top favourite that shares the qualities I mentioned above. Feeling This [also blink] is another great example from the aforementioned list of favourite versions of songs he made. ua-cam.com/video/C_Epa6LyRGw/v-deo.html I love the way he adds [quite a lot on this one, honestly] of his own style and flavour, but maintains respect for/faithfulness to the iconic original groove Travis created. It is absolutely my favourite version of the song.
@@teammusketeers yeah, in addition to the mind-blowing skills and musicality on display in each track, he also brings a unique and highly contagious energy to his drum parts that I quite enjoy.
Not overplaying, just his thing. If you don't like it, don't watch it. Seriously, this guy has reached a pinnacle the rest of us mere mortals only dream of....he can play anything that pops into his head, effortlessly. My favorite video of his, tough call, but probably the recent 'Thriller' video
All he's doing is putting his own spin on everything he plays.Personally I fucking Love it.I've never seen anyone play with such ease & efficiency behind a kit.His Chops are unique & unmatched.Jaw dropping every time.🤘🏻😲🔥🔥🔥
I'm not a musician, but this guy is the Stevie Ray Vaughn of drums. He can play a cover so well AND still own it. He can put his own spin on it and like it as much, if not more, than the original. But he doesn't do this with a few songs. He does it with everything he touches.
I am a big fan, but I also think that outside of his own studio, playing with a band, they would not appreciate it half as much as the people commenting here. A vand is a team, and i think he makes it clear that he is not a team player, doesn't even want to be. He wants to be the cebter of attention rhe entire song....every song, so he does what he does, and it's hard not too like.
Dude’s a beast!! He has the disclaimer “this is NOT how to play Chop Suey”. I watched videos of his now former band, Saratoga and he can play fast, stay in the pocket, and anything else necessary.
Believe it or not, my favorite video of his involves no drumming. His video of just him talking a bit about himself and giving us a tour of his home and studio's that he co-owns with his two best friends from childhood, and the video of him explaining his reasons for drumming and a quick run-down of his life are my favorite video's of his. As for his drumming..., I couldn't reasonably pick one..., dozen as favorites. He never fails to blow my mind with what he does, especially when he heads it with something like; "It took me 120 takes to get this right".
He's so incredibly fast with his feet that when he's drumming in the spring he'll definitely have the garden full of loving rabbits...😂😂😂😂 This Man ist insane!👍😊
It's his own style, and he owns it. It's not for everyone. I can take it in small doses, but after a while it all sounds the same to me. Incredibly skilled!
to people saying he is over playing, do not understand being a drummer. there is being live with your band and being in the pocket and then there is being on your own playing and adding more. he is in the studio playing with songs and he is incredible at it!
Definitely not overplayed. Totally agree this is one of the best drummers in the world right now not overplayed it all very tasteful doing things most advanced drummers wouldn't even think of. I'd like to see what Matt gartska would say about
I know this video is 3 months old Colby, but you said something that triggered a thought in me. I have never seen an example of "live performance drumming" have the precision to make it recording quality. I think that is part of the source of the "he drums too much" but also, that, there is some artistic feeling to empty space, of which El Estepario fills (with nauseating ease). I appreciate the dichotomy in "arguments" but I find him absolutely fascinating to watch and listen to.
Why would we want him to just cover the song normal? We can find a million average drummers playing the song as written. We come here for the chops and impeccable timing.
He’s so good, OF COURSE he could play a note perfect cover! But what’s the point when that just makes you a “Good” or perhaps even “Great” drummer? If you’re actually a “Freak of Nature” drummer, then you can do whatever the hell you like because it sounds so fricken amazing!! 🤟🏻🤟🏻 Love his take on things. Personally, I think his “Gangnam Style” is God Level.
I just love everything he plays. Everything he plays is awesome 🤩. I love your channel, keep up the great work. I’ve loved playing the drums ever since I was a school, but this guy just takes it to an epic level.
Every once in a while, I think maybe that was a bit too much, but I feel like in those moments he is really just pushing to the edge for fun. Most of the time I am just amazed at the complexity and finesse that he can bring to any song, any genre.
You know, they said the same thing to Mozart... "oh there's too many notes"... They are still talk about him today. That being said he is a super talented player that refuses to color between the lines. Just remember those that can't fall into three categories 1) they complain 2) they teach 3) or they recognize greatness. Great reviews.
He said it himself "if people spent half as much time practicing as they do hating, the world would be a much better place "
nooo cause that means they would have to get off their asses

Anything he ADDS to a song just shows his authenticity!
No tricks, no faking... all pure, unadulterated, ungodly skill and talent!!!

Couldn’t of said it better myself 👍🏼
After reading your comment I realized that nothing more needs to be said. 👍
Yep his own style is overplaying.
Real drummers admire and appreciate this guy, skill less clowns are the ones who criticize him.
Everything he does is over playing.
Definitely not over played. Nothing he plays is over played. His flow and own style makes the songs he covers sound amazing while still within the original. He’s gotta be top 3 drummers in the world.
Haha…not overplaying? He is the definition of overplaying.
@@Plingplong32166 not when it actually sounds good and doesn’t take away from the song.
@Michael Stamps I think Johan was a little bit ironic 🤟💪👌
This one isn't an overplay but most of his covers he definitely overplays. This one fit because the song is naturally chaotic.
@@TheUnusedCrayonThey’re UA-cam covers he’s adding he’s own sauce and displaying his talent. I’d rather see this than a generic cover of the song
That was an amazing rendition of “Chop Suey.”

He also has great feel, sound, and a superior pocket. Makes everything look effortless, which is the sign of a true master.
He straight up killed it and perfectly played
That was beyond perfectly bro. He added fills most mid to advanced level drummers couldn't hope to play. Dude is a complete beast.
He’s an incredible drummer. So fast, so clean……..Just awesome.
This guy is brilliant, clearly one of the best drummers ever. So sharp and clean, damn! And fast, holy shit! Blows me away every time.
haters and drummers who have no technique are going to say he plays too much because he is so over their heads on every level: talent, technique, creativity, ideas, and a whole list of things that do make him one of the best drummers and musicians in history.

Hahaha, l like that!
He's the final boss
Man he nailed it! Discovered him last night watched a lot of his stuff this was my favourite, I’m a massive system fan.

Dude is a complete animal man. I believe he adds a ton of flavor to his covers in my opinion. That’s his style
Saying his drumming is to much is the same as saying you can’t fathom that amount of talent.

If you’re actually a “Freak of Nature” drummer, then you can do whatever the hell you like because it sounds so fricken amazing!! 🤟🏻🤟🏻
Love his take on things.
Personally, I think his “Gangnam Style” is God Level.
It was the perfect amount of extra flair, super sick!
I just love everything he plays. Everything he plays is awesome 🤩. I love your channel, keep up the great work. I’ve loved playing the drums ever since I was a school, but this guy just takes it to an epic level.
Sounds Killa. Nothing wrong with putting your own twist on a song especially when it's so clean . Awesome musician.👌
My favorite drummer hands down!! 🫡✊
He's so clean and practiced.
He's having fun. He has the skills to do whatever he wants, and that's ok, this is art.
Every once in a while, I think maybe that was a bit too much, but I feel like in those moments he is really just pushing to the edge for fun. Most of the time I am just amazed at the complexity and finesse that he can bring to any song, any genre.
this guy is such a beast on the drums and love his content.
The guy is a machine. Probably one of the best in world
You know, they said the same thing to Mozart... "oh there's too many notes"... They are still talk about him today. That being said he is a super talented player that refuses to color between the lines. Just remember those that can't fall into three categories 1) they complain 2) they teach 3) or they recognize greatness. Great reviews.
He took the revs symbol fill from almost easy. Way different but never heard it before that song, and he just rocked a different version perfectly
I personally think this guy is some sort of AI robot, completely mad. And that Varus kit sounds insane 😊
